Diagnosis.
Females of
A. uiriri
are similar to those of
A. demiguise
n. sp.
and
A. blakei
(
Figs 13, 15
,
19, 21
) by the medially interrupted epigynal ventral plate. They can be distinguished from those of
A. demiguise
n. sp.
by the absence of secondary spermathecae, and from those of
A. blakei
by the wider copulatory ducts (
Fig. 16–18
).
